We provide a weather tight exterior building package manufactured from the plans of your choice. Our super insulated, high efficiency, state-of-the-art products produce a hybrid home that will save you up to fifty percent in energy costs compared to standard modular, panelized or stick-frame home construction. That's right, our homes use about HALF of the oil, gas, electricity or wood that is normally used to heat or cool a home of similar size. They are so energy efficient that they qualify for federal energy tax incentives. Our homes are so environmentally friendly and family safe that they meet the required qualifications of "green building" materials and practices.
The hard part of any owner builders early career is bringing a project "out of the ground". This is the area of the project that most entrepreneurs will incur their largest wounds in the battle to build their dream homes. The site work, foundation and framing stages represent a great quantity of unknown factors that may affect the project budget in negative ways and at great expense, especially time lost, if not handled by experienced professionals. By controlling the most uncontrollable part of the project, the rest becomes easy.
Building lots need to undergo a certain degree of scrutiny before they are approved by a town or municipality, therefore you need to start by looking for approved lots in areas that you would like to live. Once you select your lot, notify us and we will walk the lot with you to evaluate the topography, analyze the engineering and determine if the lot is suitable for your requirements and will accommodate your house plans.
When surveys and engineering are completed, permits are in place, and the building site has been adequately prepared, you can sit back and watch your new and highly efficient custom home be assembled in a such a short time, it still surprises even us. Under normal conditions, 30 to 45 days is all we need to deliver and install our product. This affords you a savings of an average of 60 to 90 days of valuable project time and 2 to 3 months interest savings on your construction mortgage amounting to thousands of dollars.
